How do I choose the right size paint brush?

The right-sized paint brush for your project depends on the area you plan to cover. For large surfaces, including walls and ceilings, use a 3 to 4-inch flat brush for broad coverage. Switch to a smaller brush for trims and edges, preferably a 1 to 2-inch angled sash brush for precision cut-in work, and go even smaller for touch-ups and intricate areas.

How do I choose the right brush head material?

Consider the type of paint and the surface. Natural bristle brushes hold more paint for a smooth finish, making them ideal for oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains. For water-based paints, latex, and acrylic, synthetic bristle brushes better resist water absorption and maintain stiffness.
